In April the RTC approved a 2020-21 budget (created before COVID-19) knowing that stated revenues will now be much less with COVID-19. Only one commissioner voted “no”.

The recent transit corridor alternatives analysis survey (bus or train) did not offer a ‘none-of-the-above’ choice. How complete is the input being collected?

The Commission’s lack of interest in public input was in full view at the May meeting. One Commissioner to the Chair: “You didn’t think you were going to get away without Oral Communications, did you?” To which the Chair responded: “Just one meeting, please! Yeah, whatever.”

County Public Works stated it well months ago when they told the RTC: To create new things, when we can’t afford to maintain what we already have, we think that is the wrong way to go.

New voices are needed on the RTC. For those in County District 1, vote Manu Koenig for Supervisor!
